Our polling shows that there has been a decline in those people who believe that Global Warming is manmade, and that it will be catastrophic, since we polled last time. There has also been a collapse in support for the CPRS.

Faith in the official government view of global warming has been shaken with a statistically significant decline in concern about Global Warming. This is not matched by a corresponding growth in those who are unconcerned. Rather the decrease is being transferred to the numbers of those who are unsure.

Climate Change continues to be the most important issue, followed by Economy. The newcomer this quarter is Population which has zoomed from 7% to 22%. Health and Water have also had a substantial increase. One surprise appearance this month is Rudd. It's taken a while, but just as John Howard had a strong "loathe" factor, Kevin Rudd appears to be developing one too. Most prime ministers do, and Rudd has escaped this factor for a surprisingly long time.
